hallelujah



it's been an interesting experience
and a good week for reflecting and taking stock


a little as i imagine living in a [noisy] nunnery might be
no news of the outside whirled
even on the magic box there's no mention
of anything at all
other than the passing of one
who last week was still the object of mild amusement
but who this week is being hailed as a saint
a curious whirled indeed


but seeing as i woke up singing, i'll stick with the musical theme...


my bags are packed, i'm ready to go

and here's a selection of what i'll be humming as i do



hallelujah, 

going home


bye bye, blackbird

  2. Have to say that halleluljah is my all time favourite song. Last week I was visiting my own father when my father in law passed away. I could not be there for the funeral, but at the time it was on, that song came on the radio....

  9. it seems San Francisco airport security wanted to do a bit of cloth fondling as well...my elephant suitcase [some of you are familiar with it] arrived in Sydney sticky-taped to the eyeballs because they'd had a good rummage

    i expect the travelling dye cauldron probably caused a bit of concern when it showed up on the Xray machine he he

  10. I can actually play a small section of "Going Home" on the guitar - but very badly!

    I'd forgotten about the Dire Straits meets Hank Marvin moment - i believe he and Knopfler go way back.

    Safe journey
